Frequently asked
Inverter or non-inverter AC?
Inverter, almost always. The 30%+ power savings pay back the price premium in 18-24 months on Indian electricity tariffs.
Front-load or top-load washing machine?
Front-load is gentler on clothes and uses 30% less water but costs 30% more. Top-load is faster and back-friendly. We recommend front-load if your budget allows ₹25K+.
How big a fridge for an Indian family of 4?
280-350L double-door is the sweet spot. Side-by-side starts making sense for 5+ person households or heavy bulk-cooking families.
